Tag4Cancer.com – iPad 2 Giveaway

If you read about my Less Stress Challenge a few weeks ago, you know that I’ve committed to renew my effort to taking care of myself: mind, body and spirit. I’m excited to learn about a new website BeeWell for Life, by Bumblee Bee. At BeeWell for Life they’re also dedicated to a healthy, active lifestyle.

I look forward to exploring the Bee Delicious portion of BeWell for Life more. It looks like it will be a great resource for new nutritious and tasty lunch ideas, which is something that I am working on right now.

Bumble Bee is taking initiative to lead the way with its charitable contributions increase breast cancer awareness with their Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization™ partnership. Walk and Bee the Difference: For every mile you walk, run or cycle and log on www.beewellforlife.com, and Bee Well for Life will donate $0.10/mile to the Y-ME National Breast Cancer organization. That’s something that will motivate me to exercise more!

I don’t have some amazing personal story about breast cancer and how it’s affected my life and the life of a close family member, but I encourage you to read this post from a few months ago on my friend Jamie’s blog My Baking Addiction where she shared her experience with a breast cancer scare. Please remember to take care of yourself.

My grandfather. Throughout my life, he aided me with music, and quickly became my mentor. Though he battled until his last breath, he passed away from liver, bone, and prostate cancer in 2009. From that day, I have worked to advocate the importance of cancer research and good health. I started an American Cancer Society Youth Club at my high school and participated in a cancer research program at a local university. Because of all the suffering I see in those around me, I am pursuing to be a pediatric oncologist. To set a good example for my patients, I decided that it was time for me to lose weight. In the past three months, I have lost 40 pounds and am nearing the healthy weight for my height. The people around me inspire me to eat healthy and exercise in order to avoid health complications in the future.

Hello My name is Christopher, I’m 18years of age fighting with Osteosarcoma cancer. I have lost my right leg at the knee and continues to fight with cancer. My friend Janice Colson is a inspiration to me because she has fought and won breast cancer. So everyday I look up to her and know that I will win this battle. I have my ups and downs. Good and bad days, but all I do it remember 1 Corinthians 10:13 God will never give you more than you can handle, and if its more than you can, he will lift it up off your shoulders so you may stand under it in victory! Thanks so much for reading!

The memory of my mother, inspires me to try to be fit and healthy – she passed away from cancer 3 years ago, though it was not breast cancer.

My brother in law is an inspiration. He ran a marathon 8 months after invasive surgery to remove a malignant tumor. After feeling the amazing positive energy while I was watching his marathon, I ran a half marathon myself a few months later.

My friend Maria who is a marathon runner inspires me to be fit and healthy. Because of her I’ve finished two half-marathons.

My cousin Zachary had Leukemia and Diabetes as a kid. The treatments conflicted and he ended up with stunted growth, overweight and weak. Once he beat the cancer, and got his diabetes under control, he shot up like a bean pole and got his health under control. Now he is young, healthy and in control, and I strive everyday to get my health under control as well as he has 🙂 Thanks for supporting this great cause!

My Mother @pattypooh11 inspires me to be fit. She always encourages me to continue on, even if I don’t want to

My Middle Bebe Girl Jasmine gained quite a bit of weight after two children in two years with C-sections for both … using Jillian Michaels as her inspiration, as well as her DVD’s and weight-loss plans, my daughter is steadily progressing in her weight loss and fitness goals.

My daughter inspires me.

my mother, two time cancer survivor, who is just a few days shy of 100 days post-stem cell transplant to cure her leukemia, is the most amazing woman i have ever known. Not a day goes by that I don’t need her – whether it’s advice, a recipe suggestion, words of wisdom, a gardening tip, or just a loving mother’s ear. She makes a choice every day to do what needs to be done to make it through the day, and that is admirable.

Along with many others, I have been inspired by a friend of mine with breast cancer. She is 29 years old and has been living with cancer for 2 years. She now has three different types of cancer and is in stage 4. She survived a difficult childhood as well. I have never met anyone who connects with people so easily. She instantly becomes friends with people. She also has developed a very close relationship with God that is truly inspiring. I just adore her!

My inspiration is my mom. After a battle with breast cancer, she is living life to the fullest and is as healthy as can be.

I am inspired by the memories of my mom. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 30 and lost her battle with the disease at the age of 33. Her courage, strength and love still inspire me today–over 25 years later. I am also inspired by my brother. He was diagnosed with brain cancer 6 months ago. He is determined to overcome this battle and I know that if anyone can, he can and he will. Cancer has been my least favorite word most of my life. I believe that a cure will be found and I do all that I can to spread awareness and to promote and support this cause. I eat organic foods and exercise is a party of my daily life. I believe in being strong–body, mind and spirit! =)

My friend Sarah is an inspiration. She is a fitness instructor and provides me with healthy snack ideas for my kids. When we first started out playing tennis, we challenged each other physically. Now it is physical and mental. Plus, she is an active volunteer in the community and always finds time to help others in need.

One of my closet friend’s just had a mastectomy due to cancer, She is amazing and doing well.

My best friend, my husband, encourages me to stay fit and eat healthy. He doesn’t complain when the cupboards are bare, knowing that if I fill them up with junk, I’m the first to one to endulge and regret!

My mom. Even in the midst of cancer treatments, she was always looking for opportunities to be healthier.

my sister in law inspires me to exercise and be healthy every day

My son’s great grandmother inspires me! She was 98.5 when she died in March, 2011. She lived alone and drove to the beauty shop herself every week until December, 2010, when she got sick. Mrs. De Vasquez was a great lady! Her daughter, Grandma Lettie is 73 years young and still going strong. She is a 7-year cancer survivor!

I would have never said this 6 months ago, but my Mom has become my healthy living example. After being compacent about her health for many years she started getting yearly physicals and mammograms. This year she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is currently undergoing treatment and her faith is remaing so strong, an intricate part of good health is strong faith.

My friend jasmine has heart of a giant and gets me involved in volunteer work. The even had our job redo a local schools library.

My dear aunt Mary Black Johnson, who lost her battle against stage IV metastatic breast cancer almost 10 years ago. She left behind 3 young sons and fought like hell to beat this nasty disease. She has inspired me to live for the moment and to take charge of my health – not only for me, but for those who love and depend on me…especially my own 2 young children.

My sister, Jenifer, is my best friend. We are “Friends for Life.” It’s something that a local news station started quite a few years ago (15 or more!) and you’re supposed to call your Friend for Life on the 13th of every month to remind them to do their breast self-exam. We never forget the 13th!

My friend Emily inspires me to stay fit. Even as a mother of two small ones, she makes it a priority to take care of herself. She’s even participating in her first triathlon in 2 weeks.

My son and daughter-in-law! They decided to get fit and they have now run in several 1/2 marathons and are working toward a full one this fall. They are very determined people and have steadily improved their times with each race.

My dog inspires me because she has so much boundless energy and joy that I just want to be able to keep up with her on our runs/walks.

It would have to be my husband. He has always taken care of his body and eats better than I do. He loves to workout and is very athletic. He always scores high on his Army physical training too. He makes me want to shed the 20 lbs Im wanting to get rid of! Here is his FB page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001308637461

My fried Anna went from a couch potato this year t someone who runs and wins races. Such an inspiration!

my sister inspires me to eat healthy like she does!!

I have a friend, in fact my husband’s best friend, who was very overweight for a long time. For the past few weeks he made some drastic changes in his life. Healthy eating habits and exercise made him lose a bunch of weight and I really admire his new attitude. He inspires me to make changes in my life and now I see that everybody can do anything if they set their mind to it.

My friend Domenic motivates me to stay fit! He used to weigh over 200 pounds and lost so much weight, he looks incredible. He reminds me that with hard work, weight goals can be achieved.

Actually, it’s a new blog that has been inspiring to me…Word of Wisdom Living I believe it is called. Talks about both eating better and getting in a proper amount of exercise. So many wonderful things to think about!

My older brother got me into running and now we send fitness articles and great running songs back in forth – it really helps us keep in touch since I don’t get to see him often, and since we were both teased as youngsters for being too scrawny, slow and uncoordinated, it’s fun to see how we have both turned into athletes!

My boyfriend is so encouraging when it comes to working out and eating healthy. It’s nice to have a partner who is an awesome exercise buddy and a great cook!

My colleague, Kristin, inspires me to run and workout. She has two kids, who are constantly going, a full time job and has run the Boston Marathon 3 times. I have taken up running and hope to do my first 1/2 marathon this summer.

My older sister inspires me to work out. When she hit 30, she got really sick of being slightly overweight. She slowly worked up to working out 5x a week, and now she’s looking to become certified for yoga teaching. I can’t make it into the gym as often as she does, but I try to be a squashed potato!

My dear friend of 7 years comes from a very healthy and athletic family so she inspired me more as she leads by example like making healthy choices in diet and motivating others to be active like joining her in her daily powerwalk.

My husband is my best friend, and inspires me with his dedication to our local fire department. At age 50 he decided to volunteer, and volunteers are required to go through the same grueling training that a paid fireman completes. He is amazing! He hikes every day with his full gear and a 100-foot fire hose IN ADDITION to the training and testing that he participates in 2-3 times a week. Wow. If that’s not inspiration, I don’t know what is!

I’ve been inspired by several bloggers who share with readers what it looks like in their lives to daily commit to healthy living. What an example and encouragement!

My Mom inspires me to be healthy. She make an effort to eat well and exercise often.

My friend Julie is a fit person and is always asking me to walk with her, no matter how many times I say no, she keeps asking, until she wears me down! I know I should, but sometimes need a little push to get up and get moving.

My friend is my Mom, who at 53 has started her weigh loss journey and has been sticking to her diet. I’m so happy she is taking her health into her own hands! She inspires me to take better care of myself and to love myself and my body!

My buddy @maxpapis inspires me as an athlete, father and husband (in no particular order), his never quit attitude has taken him to the heights in performance in motorsports maintaining a healthy fitness lifestyle. He is a bicyclist and now is working in conjunction with a company which manufactures heart rate monitoring and fitness assessment equipment. Through his indefatigable character he continues to be a professional athlete at a time when many would retire. And, he’s a pretty neat person. Despite his busy schedule his wife and children are everything to him.

What a great giveaway! My friend Tracey inspires me to be fit. She eats healthy and exercises five or more days a week. She encourages me to do the same!

My dear friend Dottie. She just pasted away on April 7th from breast cancer. She fought so hard and never lost her hope, dignity or sense of humor. She is missed dearly but she has left a legacy of friendship for ever.

My sister inspires me to be fit. She can’t always do everything that everyone else can do due to health issues. Since she was never given the chance to be completely healthy, I won’t waste my good luck in being given a healthy body!

My 4 year old daughter… since she insists that playing TAG with me is the ONLY way she’ll ever be happy in life. 🙂

My husband inspires me – he will encourage me to walk or workout when all I want to do is lay around and do nothing. I always feel better afterwards – and I love him so much for helping me stay healthy!

My best friend, kim, inspires me. She is a three year breast cancer survivor. When she was first diagnosed, then went thru chemo — she barely missed nights of work. She was so determined to keep her schedule and not let this terrible disease beat her. We continued to laugh at inappropriate things and be as sarcastic as ever. She has a strength and dignity and grace that few possess

My friend Gena. Diagnosed with breast cancer this year. Walking every day as part of the plan to kick cancer’s butt 🙂

My friend Lizzy just ran a 5k. It totally inspires me to be fit.

I think who inspires me the most is the Mamavation posts on twitter from @thatbaldchick. I spend way too much time on the computer due to movement restrictions, but she is ‘real’ and sometimes when I dont feel like doing something I will when I see her tweets.

there are many people who inspire me, but mostly my mum, because she is always trying to keep the family healthy and is never afraid of researching and exploring.

My friend Rachel just got over battling breast cancer and is now considered a survivor. She was and is so positive and such an inspiration. I’ve done a few 5K cancer walks with her in the last year and together we take our kids to the park and run around chasing them.

My son-in-law really inspires me with his total dedication to a healthy lifestyle by eating healthy and in moderation and getting regular exercise.

I am incredibly inspired by my friend Stephanie (www.giveeveryday.com) and her family. She is a woman who is extremely committed to her family, and one way that manifests itself is making sure she is healthy and active. She is also committed to the world, and is currently traveling the country with her family, seeking ways to serve and love.

My Mom inspires me to stay fit. She has asthma, hight blood pressure and diabetes. She was diagnostic last month with metastic cancer and she is fighting it with everything she has. We love her so much.

My friend helps keep me moving all of the time. When we get together, we go for a walk at the park or a run. We do things together that are active and healthy. It is awesome!

I have a friend that I work out with 5 days out of the week. We always update each other on what we ate the day before and help each other out if one of us is not up to working out that day. I don’t think I would be as successful without her. We have been doing this for 1 1/2 years now and have both toned and and lost a lot of weight!!! =)

Last week one of my best friend also got breast cancer and I told her to keep strong and don’t give up.. I will pray for her and hopefully she will be able to fight and win.

Actually, all the women who run healthy living blogs or post on heath related topics have inspired me. I wanted to be that person that has healthy recipes and food to share with everyone and that’s why I started my own blog. And now I’m inspired on a daily basis to share healthy food.
